5. Warnings and safety notes

Non-observance of the following information may result in personal injury or material damage. Store these instructions for use and make them accessible to other users.

Make sure you include these instructions for use when handing over the device to third parties.

WARNING

•

Check to ensure that the package contains all the parts that should be included in the delivery.

•

Check the pulse oximeter regularly before use to ensure that there is no visible damage to the device and the batteries are still suciently charged. In case of doubt, do

not use the device and contact Beurer customer services or an authorised retailer.

•

Do not use any additional parts that are not recommended by the manufacturer or oered as equipment.

•

Under no circumstances should you open or repair the device yourself, as faultless functionality could no longer be guaranteed thereafter. Failure to comply will result in

voiding of the warranty. For repairs, please contact Beurer customer services or an authorised retailer.

o NOT use the pulse oximeter

−

if you are allergic to rubber products.

−

if the device or the ﬁnger you are using is damp.

−

on small children or babies.

−

during an MRI or CT scan.

−

while transporting a patient other than within a medical establishment.

−

whilst taking a blood pressure measurement on the same arm using a cu.

−

on ﬁngers that have nail varnish on, are dirty or have a plaster or other dressing on them.

−

on large ﬁngers that do not ﬁt into the device easily (ﬁngertip: width approx. > 20 mm, thickness approx. >15 mm).

−

on ﬁngers with anatomical changes, oedemas, scars or burns.

−

on ﬁngers that are too small, as with small children for example (width approx. < 10 mm, thickness < 5 mm).

−

on patients who are not steady at the site of application (e.g. trembling).

−

near ﬂammable or explosive gas mixtures.

•

Using the device for long periods may cause pain for people with circulatory disorders. Therefore do not use the pulse oximeter for longer than 30 minutes on one

ﬁnger.

This is essential to ensure correct sensor orientation and to safeguard the integrity of the skin.

•

The pulse oximeter displays an instantaneous measurement but cannot be used for continuous monitoring.

•

The pulse oximeter does not have an alarm function and is therefore not suitable for evaluating medical results.

•

Do not self-diagnose or self-medicate on the basis of the measurements without consulting your doctor. In particular, do not start taking any new medication or change

the type and/or dosage of any existing medication without prior approval.

•

Do not look directly inside the housing during the measurement. The red light and the invisible infra-red light in the pulse oximeter are harmful to your eyes.

•

This device is not intended for use by people (including children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge,

unless they are supervised by a person who has responsibility for their safety or they receive instructions from this person on how to use the device. Children should be

supervised around the device to ensure they do not play with it.

•

The displays for the pulse wave and pulse bar allows the strength of the pulse or circulation to be evaluated at the measurement site. Rather, they are exclusively

used to display the current visual signal variation at the measurement site and do not enable reliable diagnostics for the pulse.

on-observance of the following instructions can lead to incorrect or failed measurements:

•

There must not be any nail varnish, artiﬁcial nails or other cosmetics on the ﬁnger to be measured.

•

Ensure that the ﬁnger nail on the ﬁnger to be measured is short enough that the ﬁngertip covers the sensor element in the housing.

•

If the person moves while the measurement is being taken. Keep your hand, ﬁnger and body steady during the measurement.

•

For people with cardiac arrhythmia, the oxygen saturation level (SpO₂) readings and the heart rate (PRbpm) may be incorrect or the measurement may not be possible at all.

•

If an electronic surgical device or deﬁbrillator is used, the functioning of the pulse oximeter may be impaired.

•

In cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, the pulse oximeter displays a measurement value that is too high.

•

To avoid falsifying the measuring result, there should not be any strong light sources (e.g. ﬂuorescent lamps or direct sunlight) in the immediate vicinity of the pulse oximeter.

•

People with low blood pressure, who suer from jaundice or take medication for vascular contraction may experience incorrect or falsiﬁed measurements.

•

Incorrect measurements are likely for patients who have been administered medical dye in the past or for those who have abnormal haemoglobin levels. This applies in

particular for cases of carbon monoxide poisoning and methaemoglobin poisoning, which can occur for example from the administration of local anaesthetics or from an

existing methaemoglobin reductase deﬁciency.

•

The measurement may be falsiﬁed in patients with an arterial catheter, hypotension, severe vascular constriction, anaemia or hypothermia.

•

Protect the pulse oximeter from dust, shocks, moisture, extreme temperatures and explosive materials.

9. Evaluating measurement results

WARNING

The following table for evaluating your measurements does NOT apply to

people with certain pre-existing conditions (e.g. asthma, heart failure, res

piratory diseases) or whilst staying at altitudes above 1500 metres. If you

have a pre-existing condition, always consult your doctor to evaluate your

measurements.

Decline in oxygen saturation depending on altitude

Note

The following table informs you of the eects of various altitudes on oxygen saturation

value and its impact on the human body. The following table does NOT apply to peo

ple with certain pre-existing conditions (e.g. asthma, heart failure, respiratory diseases

etc.). People with pre-existing conditions can show signs of illness (e.g. hypoxia) at

lower altitudes.

10. Maintenance/cleaning

IMPORTANT:

Do not use high pressure or ethylene oxide sterilisation on the pulse oximeter! The device is not suitable for sterilisation.

Under no circumstances should you hold the pulse oximeter under water, as this can cause liquid to enter and damage the pulse oximeter.

•

Clean the housing and the interior rubber surface with a soft cloth dampened with medical alcohol after each use.

•

If a low battery status appears on the display of the pulse oximeter, change the batteries.

•

If you are not going to use the pulse oximeter for more than one month, remove both batteries from the device to avoid possible leaking.

11. Storage

IMPORTANT:

Store the pulse oximeter in a dry place (relative humidity ≤93 %). If the humidity is too high it may shorten the service life of the pulse oximeter or damage it. Store the pulse

oximeter in a place where the ambient temperature is between -20°C and 55°C.

12. Disposal

Please dispose of the device in accordance with EC Directive – WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). If you have any questions, please contact the local

authorities responsible for waste disposal.

The empty, completely ﬂat batteries should be disposed of through specially designated collection boxes,

recycling points or electronics retailers. You are legally required to dispose of the batteries.
